    I think the stupid game is throwing the bottle.

    There are two kinds of people. The ones who blame the bad guy, and the ones who blame the victim for getting mad at the bad guy.

      Both can be dipshits.

      There are lots of kinds of people, for example, you’re the sort that fails to see nuance. If you did you wouldn’t be putting everything into a right or wrong binary. Talking about ‘justice’ being when the ‘right’ people get punished like a fucking child.

          Nothing says nuance like heavily simplifying paragraphs down to a byte that sounds supportive of your argument. Yeah let’s ignore the fact he pulled over, got out of his car, and started antagonizing an already angry mob. Fuck off with your strawman bullshit.

            Uulu said one of the teens threw a bottle of liquid that hit the passenger side of his car as he passed by them. He then drove through the intersection before pulling over and getting out of his car.

            “Now, I realize that was a big mistake,” he said.

            Bazarbai Uulu said the teens started to surround him before one of the suspects, who was wearing a mask, approached him. At that time, he started running away, and several teens chased him.

            Getting out of the car is not antagonizing. Fuck off with your victim blaming.

              My point isn’t that its his fault. My point is that of you’re going to be the sort of person to carry a gun, you should be the sort of person to look at this situation and say “If I get out, there is a good chance I could be put in a position where I have to use my gun. Maybe I should fucking avoid that.”

                  Then it sounds like the solution isn’t him owning a gun, the solution, save for fixing the societal issues that cause an angry mob of teenagers to do this, is to not get out of the car.

                  Does that mean he deserved it, or that its his fault? No, but the best answer would to be the bigger person, eat the fact that a dipshit kid threw a water bottle at your car, and go about your life.
